Description:

Enemy Speaks by Wyndham Lewis, released 2 April 2007. This version of Enemy Speaks comes as a 1xCD. - =AUDIOBOOK=

The first CD audiobook of readings by Percy Wyndham Lewis (1882-1957), the influential British modernist writer, artist and self-styled 'Enemy' feted both by T.S. Eliot and Mark E. Smith. Lewis is best known as the founder in 1914 of the celebrated Vorticist art movement, an English variant of Italian Futurism. The Enemy Speaks gathers together rare broadcast recordings made by Lewis in 1938, 1947 and 1951 on various subjects in art and politics, as well as readings of three poems from One-Way Song, recorded at Harvard in 1940. The CD also features a dramatized extract from his Bloomsbury-baiting satire the Apes of God, recorded in 1951 with an introduction by the critic V.S. Pritchett. The CD closes with the recording of Sympathy that so vexed Lieutenant Lewis in his dug-out near Ypres in 1917. The CD features a deluxe booklet featuring archive Lewis images as well as historical notes by James Hayward. The CD has been prepared with the full co-operation of the Wyndham Lewis Memorial Trust.

"Archive spoken word recordings by the iconic British artist, writer and Vorticist Percy Wyndham Lewis (1882-1957), recorded between 1938 and 1951. Released by kind permission of the Wyndham Lewis Memorial Trust."
